West Ham 2 - 0 Newcastle United - 14/09/15 - Post-match reaction from page 40


Recommended Posts

Mbemba was getting frustrated with no-one to pass to a lot of the time, forced to play back or hit it long.

 

Something's seriously wrong with the way this midfield is set up. Not hard to spot what it is either.

That was pretty shit and yet, we really should be level. Janmaat has to score that (or leave it for Wijnaldum). No reason we can't get at least a point out of this game, but McClaren needs to make some changes.

 

They're nowt special and the game in general has been low on quality. If even get going a little bit we could come out with something. :thup:

 

Then again, so could they.

Anita/Colback offer nothing like, absolutely nothing. They don't contribute, they don't protect, they're easily dominated by every other CM we face and are always goal-side and get pulled all over the shop. It needs to change, either personnel or formation or both because this isn't working Stevie, it's fucking pigshit.

 

 

so we sacrifice threat for their protection- that they dont give anyway- what a plan.

 

Exactly. We play 7 men who are largely there to defend the goal and we still concede regularly. Change it ffs.

Anita wasn't the only one at fault for the goal. Janmaat - not for the first time - panicked and Wijnaldum (who has looked out of sorts tonight) made a very tentative challenge.

 

But we seem to lack any kind of presence when the ball breaks around the centre and edge of either penalty area. Those are the situations where you expect a midfield anchorman to intervene with a clearance / tackle, or a shot / pass, and it just doesn't happen. It's not just been a problem in this game.

Good assessment.
